Q

What are pros of multiple dose administration studies?

A

good for patients unethical to d/c treat
get all data points

32
Q

For multiple dose studies, what parameters characterize rate and extent of BA?

A

AUC
% fluctuation

33
Q

For BE in old days what was the criteria?

A

mean AUC within 20%

34
Q

What must be done to the data to statistically analyze them?

A

log trasnformed

35
Q

What is current BE criteria?

A

when log trasnformed 90% CI between 80-125%

36
Q

What are the 3 BE comparisons?

A

population
individual
population and individual

37
Q

What does a statistical analysis assumes?

A

Normal
independent- random variables are independent
homoscedasticity-variance of dependent is constant

38
Q

What test do you do if looking at variability in one patient or even between subjects?

A

ANOVA

39
Q

What is residual variance?

A

error of ANOVA
estimation of within subject variance
product variability

40
Q

What is a null hypothesis?

A

no difference

41
Q

DO A PRACTICE CI QUESTION

A

90%CI=100 x e^(Difference +- t(n1+n2-2) x SE difference)
difference= difference in log means of T and R
t= tvalue NOT time
n thing= degree of freedom
SE= standard error difference

42
Q

What do modified release products need? Why?

A

BE in fasted and fed
WHy- more variation and s/e

43
Q

For modified release, is CI needed?

A

NO but still need to be in 80-125%

44
Q

For multiple dose MR drugs do you need to fast, fed or both?

A

fast unless need food

45
Q

For fed state what is the choice of food?

A

high calorie and high fat= more effect on git physiology

46
Q

If a drug is toxic which is better crossover or parallel?

A

parallel

47
Q

For non linear drugs if it saturates which dose should you use?

A

lowest

48
Q

For non linear drugs if it has great than expected AUC which dose should you use?

A

highest

49
Q

What is a long half life?

A

> 24hrs

50
Q

What is the BE criteria for drugs with long half lives?

A

do for 3 half lives, parallel, in volunteers

51
Q

What is a critical dose drug?

A

small difference in dose lead to bad therapeutic outcomes

52
Q

What are BE requirements for CDDs?

A

90-112%
both fasted and fed

53
Q

Whenis steady state studies for CDD needed?

A

in patients that already need the drug,

54
Q

What parameters are needed for combination products?

A

PK parameters assessed for each active ingredient

55
Q

What value indicates hughly variable drug?

A

> 30% ANOVA-CV

56
Q

What is formula for ANOVA-CV?

A

= sqroot (residual variance) x 100%

57
Q

FOr drugs with measurable endogenous levels what should dose be?

A

high enough to differential exogenous and endogenous

58
Q

What is aqueous solubility a trait of?

A

medicinal ingredient

59

What drug can only be BCS biowaivered?

A

IR

for permeability

A

solubility and permeability

65
Q

For each BCS category what is extent of absorb?

A

1- good
2- dissolution limited
3- permeability limited
4-bad

66
Q

What is max amount of excipient from reference allowed if disrupt absorption to get biowaver?

10%

67

A

dissolution or gastric empty

68
Q

What is considered rapid dissolution?

A

> 85% in <15 minutes

69
Q

Can you get a biowaiver if the two products are different salts?

A

only if class 1

70
Q

WHat also cant get biowaivers?

A

Class 4, narrow TI, absoprtion in oral cavity

71

How to do a comparative dissolution test?

A

900 ml of medium, temp 37.1 degrees celsius, paddle to stir, 3 buffers
